The real question on many fans’ minds is whether this sequel can capture the essence of what made the original game so beloved: the social stealth, the immersive world, and the rich roleplaying elements. Only time will tell, but we’re keeping our fingers crossed.

Oh, and let’s not forget the humor! Jim Trinca made a playful jab at the original game, jokingly calling it “crap.” But don’t worry, he quickly clarified that he doesn’t actually believe that. It’s all in good fun!
